tRump’s CDC nominee just promised to hunt down “hidden” abortions by forcing states to separate them from emergency care & miscarriage treatment. Surveillance first, science second. This isn’t public health — it’s building a federal database to criminalize women.

John C. Dvorak, a pioneering technology journalist, podcaster, and cultural commentator, passed away peacefully on the morning of Monday, July 20, 2026. He was 80 years old. For tech journalists of a certain age, there was a time when everyone knew him.

No big companies should be able to control so much of our media, particularly our news, entertainment and social media together. It leaves them highly vulnerable to regulatory blackmail by the White House, as we have now seen over and over under Trump.

2️⃣ There may be other sources of contamination

Given we continue to see a record number of cases in many states, there could still be multiple sources and several different products involved, not just Taylor Farms iceberg lettuce. We still don’t have the full picture yet, and it takes time to investigate a widespread outbreak like this, especially when it’s hard to directly test to see if multiple sources of produce have the same or different strains of parasite.

RIGGED ELECTIONS (more)

Rudy Giuliani Following the 2020 election, he represented Trump in many lawsuits filed in attempts to overturn the election results, making false and debunked allegations about rigged voting machines, polling place fraud

In April 2024, he was indicted on charges related to the 2020 election in Arizona. He was disbarred in the state of New York in July and in the District of Columbia in September.

Trump issued a federal pardon to Giuliani.

RIGGED ELECTIONS = TRUMP

“What do you say to families of fallen soldiers when Americans are against the war?”

🤥 TRUMP, LYING AGAIN: “Americans aren’t against the war.”

Duckworth: "First and foremost, Trump is the one who started this war. Trump is the one who started this war without any actual plan for how he was going to execute the mission. So the blame for those 18 service members' deaths lays at the feet of the president. It sits on the resolute desk in front of him in that gilded Mary Antoinette of an Oval Office."

Just another unqualified MAGAt running for office...

Democratic Wins Media

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Ken Paxton just melted down and stormed out of a press conference after being asked about his 15 houses and alleged voter fraud. What a disaster for Texas Republicans.

Never forget; in the FOTUS’s military, with all the anti-DEI campaigning to do things like trying to erase the contributions troops other than those who aren’t or weren’t male, aren’t or weren’t white, 19 year-old Isabella Gonzalez will disappear from any Pentagon website. God DAMN Kegsbreath, the FOTUS and all his fucking goons to fucking hell. This just … never should have happened. Can’t tell I’m pissed, can ya?

“Canada is becoming the abused wife that Trump is lashing out at because things are going so badly at work. His hopes and dreams are crashing: The midterms look bad. His leg is caught in a veritable bear trap in his Iran War. So he goes home and beats up his wife, or in this case, lashes out at Canada. It’s another case of executive self-soothing oddly akin to what got Trump into Iran in the first place.”

Because he's a rich, well-connected Republican criminal.

Only people who have little money and few connections go to jail for committing crimes when the GOP is in charge.

For Republicans, the rule of law is meant to force working class people to submit, while protecting the rich and powerful.

"Paxton—who has been #Texas attorney general since 2015—has acquired 15 properties worth $9 million in states like Utah, Hawaii, Florida, and Oklahoma, all on a #government salary while in the midst of both a #Senate run and a divorce.

...Paxton, who has echoed #Trump ’s concern with voter #fraud, voted using an address he didn’t reside at in six elections in two years."

@AlliFlowers
I look at the changed trajectory of EV sales in countries that have been lagging behind post-Republicans' latest Middle Eastern war as a good sign that there has been some massive, permanent demand destruction for fossil fuels, except coal but that's short-lived.

Also, there has been a lot of new green fertilizer investment since the Strait of Hormuz was closed too.
